ŠINDELÁŘ, Jakub
This bachelor's thesis analyzes the work-life balance of truck drivers and aims to examine the lives of drivers' families to determine whether it is possible to balance their personal and work lives. The theoretical foundation of this thesis is based on literary sources, which discuss characteristics of a driver's work as well as work-life balance. The author details the current situation of Czech families with regard to family and social policy of the Czech Republic. Further, the author explains health issues that may result from sedentary work including truck driving. This study was conducted through semi-structured interviews with seven truck drivers of various ages and work practices. In the interviews, drivers express their experiences with work-life balance and consequent family issues. Respondents also spoke about the characteristics and problems of the driver's work. The results indicate to some extent possibility of work-life balance of truck drivers although the balance is imperfect and family needs are not satisfied fully. The family model of truck driver families corresponds to gender role division of labor and especially childcare is not divided between a man and woman equally thanks to a long period of a man away from home caused by characteristics of driver's work.
